CM Punk has been making headlines as of late because it’s rumored that the former WWE Champion is AEW bound. The wrestling world is buzzing about a possible AEW debut for Punk, and “Heels” star Stephen Amell recently talked about what it was like to work with Punk on Busted Open Radio.
According to Stephen Amell the former WWE Champion was great to work with, and they shared some special moments on the show.
“Phil (Brooks, Punk’s real name) came, and it was a blessing. We had another actor, not a wrestler, set for the role of Ricky Rabies, but scheduling-wise it didn’t end up working out. All of a sudden, we got CM Punk on the show. I got to train with him a bit. Phil was so great in and out of the ring that we ended up bringing him back for the finale. Ricky Rabies and Jack Spade shared some bonding moments, mostly with Phil on the toilet, but it still counts,” he said.
Amell went on to say that he did ask CM Punk about a potential return to the ring, and Punk simply responded with a shrugging cat photo.
“I don’t want to betray stuff that I’ve talked about with Phil. I actually texted him when all this stuff broke like, ‘You coming back?’ He sent me back a photo of a cat shrugging. As a general rule, anything in the world of pro wrestling that is going to piss Vince McMahon off and get his competitive juices flowing, is probably good for business. The one thing I know for sure is that Phil can still go. He’s in great shape. I would love to see those guys in AEW or WWE. Phil vs. Triple H, you name it, it’d be great.”
Stay tuned for more updates on CM Punk’s status as they become available.
